Abstract
Uncommon food stuffs plays an important role in eliminating food insecurity, enhancing quality life and improving nutritional status of children, adolescents and mothers in rural and tribal areas. The present research aims at obtaining nutritive value of four uncommon vegetables consumed in Mayurbhanj Districts of Odisha namely Narudu Dunka, Narada Leaves, Bitter Potato and Tulunka. The results of the study revealed that Narada leaves contain more protein i.e.3.76gm in comparison to other three. Bitter potato has more calorie content in comparison to other studied vegetables i.e.85.93 Kcal. However the ash content of the vegetables was found to be varied from 0.97 to 1.94 gm.so these may be good source of minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium and potassium etc. Thus further in depth study may be carried out in this direction to find out nutritive value of many more uncommon vegetables which can be utilized to eliminate food insecurity and combating malnutrition and morbidity.
